Solubility switch of gold nanoparticles through hydrogen bond association.
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coated with hexafluoroisopropanol moieties were prepared, and their surface was changed through simple hydrogen bond association with various amines, which allow orientation of the solubility of these AuNPs in determined organic solvents.
